another system:
---------
>> A

A(:,:,1) =

     1     2
     3     4

A(:,:,2) =

     5     6
     7     8

>> size(A)

     2     2     2

>> sum(A,3)

     6     8
    10    12

Mathematica
---------------------
Dimensions[A = {{{1, 2}, {3, 4}},{{5, 6}, {7, 8}}}]
{2, 2, 2}

Total[A, 1]

  {{6, 8}, {10, 12}}
